Crazy kiddos!

What are you.....

Reading?

Watching?

Last night I kind of, sort of watched "Dark Knight Rises" with hubby. He watched it and I was working on the computer getting taxes done.Hubby has hockey on and Jacob is not happy because cartoons are not on.

Listening to?

The sounds of the household. Benjamin is crawling around playing with a car. Jacob is crying. Bill is explaining to Jacob that there are no more cartoons tonight. And Rebecca is splashing around in the bathtub. It is a normal Sunday night around here. LOL....Music to my ears.

Cooking/Baking?

Today I made pumpkin muffins! YUMMY!!! I also have been making 2 cakes each week for Rebecca's schools Friday night fish fry each week during Lent.

Happy you accomplished this week?

﻿

New bank account was opened. Checks are ordered. Taxes are completed and filed.

Looking forward to next week?

4 day work week (one good thing about working in a school, you get teacher in-service days off). Shoe shopping next weekend with a friend of mine for a dinner auction that we are going to in a few weeks. I have a dress, just need shoes and maybe a purse.

Thankful for today?

The health of my family. Seeing a friend's husband having a near death experience with e-coli this week has really put my health in perspective to me.

Bonus question: What item is currently on the *TOP* of your wish list right now?

Right now there are 3 things that I would like to get soon... new glasses for me, a new computer chair with a back on it and a new comforter set for our bed.

So there you have it. A little glimpse into my world on this Sunday night! Hope everyone has a wonderful week and remember to link up to our wonderful chat host Carla! :)

5 years ago today I went in to the hospital to have a scheduled C-section for my last child! We knew going in that we were done have children and we chose to have my tubes tied after my C-section. When I laid my eyes on Benjamin for the first time I knew without a shadow of a doubt that our family was complete. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for Benjamin!

I thought it would be fun to ask him some questions and record his answers about his life as a 5 year old!

So one of my 2017 goals is to lose 40 pounds by the end of the year. This is a necessity for me, as in the last few months I have gained 15 pounds. That is not good. I want to be healthier and feel better about myself.

In order to keep me accountable,I am hoping to come back each Wednesday to share my weigh in and my successes and failures from the previous week. So let's hop to it and see how I did this past week, shall we?

SO HOW DID THIS WEEK GO??? My official starting weight(on 1/1/2017)was: 242.0 pounds!My weight last week was: 236.0 pounds.My weight this week is: 234.4 pounds. So a loss of 1.6 pounds! :-) Total loss from 1/1/17: 7.6 poundsYay! So happy to see the scale moving in the right direction again! As I was reflecting on things that have to do with my weight, I was thinking about the things that have worked for me in the past and so I decided to give carb cycling a try again. I feel that I eat too many processed carbs so this way I wouldn't necessarily feel depriv…

I read an interesting article earlier today that suggests that there is a direct link between your stress level and the amount of clutter in your home. The more clutter that you have in your home, the more likely you are to struggle with stress and in many cases depression. It makes a ton of sense to me.

I have been feeling VERY stressed lately and have been fighting depression. I have also noticed that the piles are forming in our home and that there is "stuff" everywhere. When I walk in our house, in our mud room, the first thing I see is stuff and piles on top of shelves and things on the floor and so really there is no way to relax. At the same time, I have been spending more time in our bedroom, and I think that that is because it has been decluttered for the most part and I feel calm in there. So, I decided that this weekend I am going to try to tackle some cleaning projects that have been weighing on my mind.
